Costantino denies Riquelme talks, says Cuello stays at San Lorenzo | OneFootball

Sergio Costantino, president of San Lorenzo de Almagro, stated that Alexis Cuello is worth “the release clause,” which is around six million dollars, and assured that the forward “will stay” at the Boedo club, before entering the Executive Committee meeting of the Argentine Football Association.

Firstly, Costantino denied having had a call with Juan Román Riquelme, dismissed the possibility of meeting with the Xeneize leader after the conclave at the AFA, and explained: “An insufficient proposal arrived, we responded 48 hours ago and left the possibility open.”

He then assured: “Cuello is training with the team, is at the disposal of the coaching staff, and is staying at San Lorenzo.” He clarified: “This is not about the buyer being Boca, it's about protecting the club's assets.”

According to the fan program La Cicloneta, Cuello requested a change of jersey for the Apertura, so he will stop wearing number 28 and start using number 9.

On another note, he clarified that he has not received any offers for Gastón Hernández, said that the arrival of Gonzalo Abrego “is a possibility,” and confirmed that the Boedo club has resolved all its inhibitions: “We made the payment, only the administrative procedure to lift them is pending.”
